lol original specs 275hp 295ftlbs. the guy asked what could he do without voiding the warranty. all of that voids the warranties.

I never liked the carbon fiber look.

TheReaper · 07-10-2018, 11:56 AM

It needs a bigger hood scoop.

It would seem that show producers posed the question "What can we do to make the modern 6th Gen Camaro look like a 3rd Gen IROC?" This was the result.

biker2k · 07-10-2018, 02:48 PM

sorry but that is just horrible....
maybe some good info with the installs and stuff but that car is hideous

There are also some people with open minds that can take seeing something different than what the normal is and not hate on it. Holy crap this car, the new 2019 which I think in RS version looks better than the 2015 to 2018 models.

I am a member of a few different forums, Challenger is one, like to keep up on the Hemi fun, they never go nuts with the hate post like on this forum.

Some of the Chevy guys on this forum , are worse than some BMW assxxles I used to read on that forum when I had a BMW.

Fully agree, black wheels are not my cup of tea, see very few that look good on any car to me. The mfg must love it, they have to be cheaper to make than a good looking silver or gray nicely designed wheel. At least Camaro even in 2019 has 3 or more Silver choices and all look pretty nice.

Gramps, what an ass, if guys that like the better looking silver wheels are all gramps, way to go all us Gramps.

I called you out on being an old man for mocking black wheels. Or "brake dust" color as you so hilariously put it.

Dont fight change gramps, you lose 100% of the time.

Nothing wrong with being an old man that's been a car guy all their life. Black wheels are just a passing phase IMHO as well. I have them, but I would have preferred something else. Brake dust color is pretty funny!

Jimmie has a whole collection of cool cars, plus he owns his own Chevy dealership. I also don't like the look of this one too much, the hood is a distraction.
